hi all,
we have an exchange 2003 server and 5.5 still running on mixed mode. basically when we migrated after we had moved all of our mailboxes from 5.5 to 2003 and got everybody working, we left it at that. we never copied or migrated our public folders, etc.. into the new server. we configured the replication so that both are replicating with each other and we figured that the next migration project to whatever version is when we'll deal with that. everything is working fine however the problem now is we recently have just started testing outlook 2007 email client. we found out that using outlook 2007, we can't connect to the organizational forms library. the message that i'm getting is "the connection to ms exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to complete this action". we never have this problem before using outlook xp or outlook 2003. can you please tell me how to fix this? i'm hoping for a quick fix or easiest. we don't have that much customized forms so worse comes to worse we can just install them as personal forms. but i'm curious if outlook 2007 is not compatible with exchange 2003 and that if you have to have exchange 2007 for it to work. or is it because we never really migrated our public folder to exchange 2003 and that's what's causing the problem. but then why does it work with outlook xp and outlook 2003? also with the regular all public folder stuff, i noticed that anything that was posted using outlook 2003 to all public folders, i can connect using outlook 2007 with no problem but some of the old stuff i can't.
any feedback is much appreciated. thanks!!
